Samsung Galaxy Book4

In comparison to most other laptops with a 16" form factor, Samsung differentiates its Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 with its thin and light profile, touch screen, tablet conversion capability, and included stylus. Touch screen functionality is essentially a prerequisite for a convertible, but Samsung augments the capability with the excellent S-Pen for users that prefer stylus input. The display in the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 is also beautiful, as you'd expect from OLED-based technology. The display offers excellent 120% DCI P3 color volume and a crispy 3K resolution, which is a good match for the 16" panel size. The premium aluminum chassis is also great, as is the large trackpad. The keyboard is also pretty good given the machine's thinness, and it includes a 10-key numpad, which can be a huge help for many productivity applications. The Core Ultra 7 155H in the Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 doesn't really offer much more CPU performance over previous-gen Intel mobile platforms, but it incorporates an NPU, which can offload some AI workloads from the processor cores to improve efficiency. Intel's Core Ultra 7 also has a much more powerful integrated GPU. While you're unlikely to be gaming much on a laptop like this, the Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 is very capable of light duty gaming. The Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro 360's storage and memory configurations leave a little something to be desired, however. The SSD in the machine isn't particularly fast, though it is likely very power consumption friendly. Additionally, we would have liked to see a 32GB RAM option, since 16GB is the bare minimum we'd recommend these days for the Windows 11 experience. A 32GB model would probably cost a couple hundred dollars more, but we think many users would appreciate the option. The Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 is not perfect and the 16" convertible form factor and may not be for everyone with it's larger 16-inch footprint. However, it does offer great battery life, touch input, a stunningly beautiful OLED display, and premium build quality. It's also currently on sale for $1499, which is a competitive value for a premium, convertible laptop with these features and capabilities. If you're in the market for a high-quality, thin-and-light machine, and prefer a larger display and the flexibility of a 360 degree hinge, the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 is definitely worth considering in this age of the AI PC.
